Billbee vs. JTL

Billbee

Intuitive inventory management system
Billbee focuses on simple and fast order processing across all channels. The interface is intuitive and easy to use without a long learning curve. This means you can get started right away when you switch.
Fair, usage-based pricing
Billbee starts with a base fee of €9 per month. There is also a small fee for each order actually processed. You only pay for what you really use.
All features included
All features and integrations are included in Billbee – from automation and inventory management to invoicing and customer communication.
Flexible to use

Billbee is cloud software. For you, this means you can work directly in your browser, independent of the platform, without needing your own server or IT maintenance.

JTL

Complex ERP system
JTL is a complex ERP solution with a logistics system and WMS. This can be overwhelming, especially at the beginning. For many e-commerce merchants, the system also offers more than they actually need.
Paid add-on modules
JTL offers a free core for its inventory management. Additional extensions and integrations incur further costs. As a result, it can quickly become more expensive than initially expected.
Requires extensions
As your business grows, you have to figure out for yourself which additional modules make sense. This costs time and, above all, money.
Windows-based

Since JTL is a Windows-based desktop program, you need a Windows operating system. This can limit your flexibility.

What Billbee users are saying

"I like Billbee's browser-based, low-complexity interface. We switched from JTL to Billbee because JTL had far too many features for our small shop that we don't need. Billbee is a much better fit for us."
Carsten on OMR Reviews
"Billbee stands out primarily for its holistic intuition. Given the wealth of features Billbee offers, it's impressive how easy and logical the setup, settings, and processes are to handle. The strongest feature is definitely the automation rules. Using multiple triggers and filters, you can build an individual workflow—Zapier-style—that makes the tool indispensable for many merchants, and it's something no competitor offers."
Jonas on OMR Reviews
"All the other inventory management systems were way too overloaded with tons of features I don't need, which made things confusing for me. Billbee does exactly what I was looking for: importing my orders from eBay, syncing inventory, creating invoices, and generating shipping labels—all while being beautifully designed and super easy to set up. Plus, the support is great and has always responded within an hour during the day so far."

Frequently asked questions about switching from JTL to Billbee

We understand that switching from JTL is a big decision. To make sure everything goes smoothly and you know exactly how Billbee works best for you from the start, we’ve answered the most important questions here. If anything remains unclear, feel free to contact our support team or our experts via chat.

What is the difference between Billbee and JTL?

The main difference between JTL and Billbee lies in the depth of the system: Billbee is a lean, cloud-based multichannel tool for inventory management, order processing, shipping, and the automation of order documents. It was developed specifically for multichannel merchants who want to automate their processes without implementing an extensive, complex ERP. JTL, on the other hand, is an extremely deep enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that traditionally runs on Windows servers and can also map complex warehouse and purchasing processes.


Your benefits with Billbee:

  • Easy to use: The interface is modern and intuitive. You can connect your shops (Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce) and marketplaces (Amazon, eBay) with just a few clicks.
  • No maintenance: Since Billbee runs in the cloud, you don't need to install updates or manually back up your data.
  • Cost control: Because you pay per order, your costs are lower in months with less revenue. Plus, there is no limit on the number of users.
  • Focus on what matters: Billbee does exactly what it's supposed to do – import orders, create invoices, print shipping labels, and sync inventory across platforms. It is designed for day-to-day operations and tailored specifically to the needs of online retailers.
